While there’s news about new AI companies everyday, beyond that, we’re actually seeing people explore the value behind AI—what to do and where to put AI to good use. One such direction is art and films. With generative image and video models getting better, it’s now possible to convert any idea into script and a fully-functional creative media. Personally, I’m a huge believer in AI filmmaking and I’ve been taking my baby-steps in this space as well. So what goes behind all of this, and how to get started if you’re a newbie into AI image and video?

Matty Shimura is an Executive Producer specializing in AI-driven film and television at Civitai.

In this video, Matty shares his views on what constitutes a good AI film, when to choose the medium and how to move beyond 'content' into actual 'stories'
